Lesson slides from How German Grammar Works

Still wondering why sometimes it's "die Banane" and sometimes it's "der Banane"?

What about "das Mädchen"? How can the word for "girl" not be grammatically feminine? And why are action words often all the way at the end of German sentences? It's about time you find out - and breathe a sigh of relief as all these layers of confusion simply crumble away.

In this course, all these concepts are explained slowly and methodically, first building up a base of comparison with English, and then going into German examples. The vocabulary is kept extremely simple, so you can follow along with very little prior German knowledge.

With Deutschable's unique approach to German grammar, you don't need months of study.

No one wants to spend countless hours of their life studying grammar. And we definitely don't want to learn it by constantly being corrected and kept in the dark about why this is happening. Luckily, you don't have to put up with any of that: In this course, almost all aspects of the biggest grammar topics in German are carefully explained in clear English - in a unique sequence - why they're important, how they work, and how you can easily remember how to use them correctly! And you can gain a clear understanding of how the system works in just a few hours.

Watch, pause, rewind, change speed...

This course is self-paced. That means that you can stream the course contents whenever you want, at whichever speed or frequency works with your life. You're the boss and you can set the pace - either you do a lesson a day (about 5 minutes), or cover all the contents in a power-afternoon! Naturally, you can change the speed if things are too quick, or pause to have a think or take a break, or rewind and rewatch if you feel like you didn't catch something. And you can start over as often as you like in case you need a refresher.

Experience waves of "aha-moments" while most other students are left in the dark.

In too many language schools, grammar is a big taboo. Students are afraid of it. Teachers don't know it and/or aren't allowed to teach it. With "How German Grammar Works" we lift the stigma off the topic and explain everything you need to know without beating around the bush, without stretching it out over years, and in a way that anyone can understand. And if you still have questions, you can ask the teacher anytime in the comments of each lesson!

Immensely useful information no matter what you're learning German for.

If you're studying German to pass an important test that awards lots of points for grammatical accuracy, this course will massively improve your performance. But the real point of Deutschable is for you to better understand Germans and express yourself well. Understanding how these things work not only improves your daily communication in Germany, but also opens up your mind to a whole new level of experiencing language.

Meet the teacher.

This is Stephan. He really likes grammar - German, English, Russian, French... you name it. But he completely understands that almost no one else does. Back in school, he hated it, too.

As a young teacher he was told never to explain grammar - just correct students without telling them why. So he ditched that approach, co-founded a language school, and started simply explaining, in English, what was going on structurally. When it came time for exercises, students knew exactly why they were being corrected. It made all the difference.

Now it's one of his life goals to help students not only understand these concepts, but use them as powerful tools in communication.

Here's what people are saying about Stephan

“Fantastic teacher. This is much more manageable than the online zoom classes, with work and parenthood having fluctuating time requirements this kind of lesson is perfect. My family and I are enjoying your class, and already are recommending it to folks we know moving to Germany.”

Gerard · Recorded A1.1 Classroom student, Berlin

“With an intuitive knowledge of individual students' struggles with German and a capacity to explain the structure of the language, in context, that exceeded my expectations ...watching Stephan go through strategies to explain sometimes complicated language structures helped me immensely as an instructor, to say nothing of my growth as a student.”

Nathan · Private student, Berlin

“I'd like to say that I have spent so much money on books, courses, time etc. and these / your explanations I finally understand!!! I think I'll finally be able to pass B1!!! I knew in my integration/immersion class I missed so much of the basics because it wasn't explained in English. I can not thank you enough!!!”
